A far-reaching course in practical advanced statistics for biologists using R/Bioconductor, data exploration, and simulation.

Modern Statistics for Modern Biology

Wolfgang Huber is Germany's most important theological ethicist, and this is a translation of his 2013 book published with CH Beck. Acknowledging our pluralistic world, Huber analyzes twenty ethical issues that emerge during the course of our lives: the future of the family, genetic handicaps and genetic enhancement, combatting global hunger and poverty, environmental degradation, religious freedom, the right to health, the expanding influence of the media, the true purpose of business, what we owe our descendants, global conflict and war and peace, the role of science, extending life and accepting death, and so on. In each chapter he provides a concrete example showing the relevance of the fundamental ethical question, then explains how one can think through possible responses and reactions. Huber is firmly within the Protestant tradition and takes philosophical cues from Kant. As such, he emphasizes the connections between personal, professional, and institutional ethics and demonstrates how human relationships lie at the center of our ethical lives. His aim is to articulate a theology of what he calls "responsible freedom" that transcends individualistic self-realization and includes communal obligations.

The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives

Ethics

In the twenty-first century the basic questions of ethics are no longer the abstract terms of ethical theory, but the concrete and burning issues related to the influence of life sciences, the impact of a globalized economy, and the consequences of present decisions for the future of humankind. Ethics: The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives analyzes twenty ethical issues that address education and culture, labor and economy, the environment and sustainability, democracy and cosmopolitanism, peace and war, and life and death. Each chapter describes a concrete example showing the relevance of the fundamental ethical question, then provides an explanation of how one can think through possible responses and reactions. Huber emphasizes the connections between personal, professional, and institutional ethics and demonstrates how human relationships lie at the center of our ethical lives. His aim is to articulate a theology of what he calls "responsible freedom" that transcends individualistic self-realization and includes communal obligations.

Bioconductor software has become a standard tool for the analysis and comprehension of data from high-throughput genomics experiments. Its application spans a broad field of technologies used in contemporary molecular biology. In this volume, the authors present a collection of cases to apply Bioconductor tools in the analysis of microarray gene expression data. Topics covered include: (1) import and preprocessing of data from various sources; (2) statistical modeling of differential gene expression; (3) biological metadata; (4) application of graphs and graph rendering; (5) machine learning for clustering and classification problems; (6) gene set enrichment analysis. Each chapter of this book describes an analysis of real data using hands-on example driven approaches. Short exercises help in the learning process and invite more advanced considerations of key topics. The book is a dynamic document. All the code shown can be executed on a local computer, and readers are able to reproduce every computation, figure, and table.

Bioconductor Case Studies

Full four-color book. Some of the editors created the Bioconductor project and Robert Gentleman is one of the two originators of R. All methods are illustrated with publicly available data, and a major section of the book is devoted to fully worked case studies. Code underlying all of the computations that are shown is made available on a companion website, and readers can reproduce every number, figure, and table on their own computers.

Kein kirchliches Fest, kein politisches Ereignis, kein gesellschaftlicher Diskurs in den vergangenen Jahren, zu dem in der Öffentlichkeit nicht die klare Stimme Wolfgang Hubers zu hören gewesen ist. Er hat seiner Kirche nicht nur einen mutigen, wenn auch schmerzhaften Reformprozess verordnet, positionierte sich nicht nur in wichtigen gesellschaftlichen Fragen wie dem Sonntagsschutz oder dem verantwortlichen Umgang mit Ressourcen – nein, vor allem in den großen Fragen des Menschseins zeigte sich zunehmend seine nachdenkliche Frömmigkeit.

Die Henning-von-Tresckow-Kaserne in Geltow (Gemeinde Schwielowsee) war einer der Ausgangspunkte deutscher, verbrecherischer Kriegführung im Zweiten Weltkrieg. In der Zeit der DDR plante man dort nicht nur die Landesverteidigung, sondern sicherte auch die SED Diktatur. Mit der Bundeswehr zogen 1990 erstmals demokratisch legitimierte, gesamtdeutsche Streitkräfte in die Geltower Liegenschaft. Die Bände der Reihe Stand.Punkt.Ort des ZMSBw bieten anhand von Kasernen und Einrichtungen der Bundeswehr eine kompakte Militärgeschichte mit Blick auf regionale Geschichte und historische Biografien.
